Hello! So I just received a devastating call from my dream company that I did not get the job after an in-person interview that I believed went quite well. The recruiter said that I did well and shouldn't be discouraged, but it just so happened that other candidates were better (lol thanks). However, she did mention that I was a very good fit for the company overall and encouraged me to keep an eye out for upcoming roles from the company. Is this a good sign, or just formality? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on here! Thanks! Edit: Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts! Didn't expect to get so many responses, but know that I appreciate everyone's insights and sharing their experiences. Good luck to everyone who's in the same spot as me, and thanks to everyone's encouraging and honest words. :)
